LUNCHTIME POLL: What's Your Favorite Blogging Platform?

Happy Friday, folks! That means it's time once again for the weekly Lunchtime Poll!

Last time we asked about your favorite video sharing sites — be sure to check out the results of Mashable readers' video sharing favorites to get caught up. This time we want to know about your favorite blogging platforms: What do you use when 140 characters or a short status update aren't quite enough? Head on past the break to find out the Mashable staff favorites, then let us know your choice in the comments (and why).

What's your favorite blogging platform?

Mashable Faves

Jennifer Van Grove: Posterous: The super simple platform makes it possible for me to maintain fresh content with little to no effort... Ironically, I've found that my Posterous posts are seeing impressive page views. Consistency and frequency is the play, and Posterous makes that possible.

Brenna Ehrlich: Tumblr: I like being able to interact with my readers, who frequently reblog my posts and pass them 'round the Web. I get a ton of traffic from Tumblr alone.

Christina Warren: Long-form: WordPress, even though I think it is mediocre at anything other than blogging (CMS it isn't). Short-form: Tumblr.

Tamar Weinberg: WordPress!

Matt Silverman: Blogger for me, despite its faults. I like to keep things within one Google username as much as possible.
